Day 3 of flowering 4 GSC's, 46days vegging under 2x240w blackstar LEDs, Just started flowering and usually I check my plants very morning but this morning was very busy just hopped up and got on my day. Got home an hour ago check on the girls and I noticed 1 of my babies grew straight up into the light!!! So the way my grow closet is set up I have my lights hung on cloths hangers hanging on the closet pole :shock: I know im an idiot but it worked for my first almost two months. Im not sure the the hell to hang my lights now!!! im pretty pissed off to cuz I don't wanna fuck up my plants. So how do you guys hang your lights and how would you advise me to do so? here are pics Thanks all! SAM_8872.jpgSAM_8874.jpgSAM_8875.jpgSAM_8876.jpgSAM_8877.jpgSAM_8873.jpg

That is the most ghetto shit i have seen with the clothes hanger.. your plants look great though. I mean there is multiple simple ways to hang them.... ratchet ropes... you could always relocate the closet pole to one side and add another one on the other side so you have two of them.... or a simple chain with a S hook / zip tie etc.....soo many options. this is a very simple thing to figure out... think about it...

Its your grow and lights I am not there to help. But you do have plenty of room, so it can be done very easly and cheaply.

You got tons of space, just put the light on ratchet ropes or chain and raise it. And I'd supercrop and lst them to slow them down and even the canopy out. But they look decent

God. Are you fuckin trolling us? How about you start by gaining an extra foot by simply attaching the light directly to the pole instead of hanging it from the bottom of a bunch of bent up clothes hangers? You hardly even have to do anything at all... just fucking attach it to the pole and you've already gained a foot.. come on man...

Edit: Really, I don't mean to be a dick. I just can't say much more than "what the fuck?" when I look at the fourth picture you posted, though.

Seriously I know this was a fucked up way to grow but I jus was trying to start it out and got busy and never took care of it. And even myself thought wtf am I doing with cloths hangers but I had to start. TY for all the help

I would be afraid of those wire hangers. I would say either use some good screw in hooks or if you are not wanting to make holes(that is my guess) get the ratchet straps like people are suggesting and just loop them around the pole. For some added space unhook the wires that are on the light and attach the straps straight to the light.

Well like I said it looks like you'd gain close to a foot just by eliminating those hangers... just gotta figure a way to hook that tiny hook at the end of the cabling to the larger round pole... plenty of ways to do that, really... there should be a way you can kinda string the cabling itself around the pole and then hook the hook back to it's own cable rather than the pole...

Find a couple joists in the ceiling and screw in a couple eye bolts. Attach to those not that wooden clothes rod.

I'm just gonna get some shit to screw into the cieling because if I hang it off the pole I'm not gonna get much space for long. Where would you recommend me to get chains and S hooks? Or what would you say to do lol

go to home depot and hanging lamp hangers rated for enough weight. they also sell chain. you are thinking (or not thinking) about this way too much.
